Skating

Central Park, Winter: The skating pond (Currier & Ives, 1862; LOC: LC-DIG-pga-00646)

I’d honestly rather be skating (if I could), but there sure were some contrasts in the winter of 1862. Central Park and places like Hancock or Romney seem like different worlds.

Guarding the Road to Windschester [sic (1862 January; LOC: LC-DIG-ppmsca-22598)

'Capt. Wallace's Battery of the 4th Ohio Regiment, near Romney, Guarding the Road to Winchester.'
